Continuous blood membrane interactions during continuous renal replacement therapy cause bioincompatibility and low grade inflammatory reactions with potentially adverse consequences on protein metabolism and immunocompetence. In designing a nutritional program for patients receiving this treatment, these adverse metabolic effects, especially the loss of nutritional substrates, must be considered. This review provides a practical overview of nutritional support in acute renal failure, including assessment techniques, determination of nutrient needs, and appropriate intervention for patient support.
